Hey Brian,

You're absolutely right! Teachers should love their jobs. I graduated with a BS in Science in 2000 and taught middle school physical science for five years and loved it-Unfortunately my license was a dual subject license for science and math and although I had completed the requirements for science I had to go back to school to fulfill the remaining math requirements and pass the math II praxis (I’ve completed math courses which were only offer during the day but to this day I haven't been able to pass the math II praxis- it is extremely difficult if your not a math major) I’ve been working at this for three years and if I didn't love teaching I would have given up a long time ago. During my five years in the classroom I observed a lot of teachers who were burnt out and hated their jobs ---their classroom environments reflected their attitudes and in turn had an affect on the quality of the learning that occurred. It's refreshing to read that you are so passionate about teaching---Good luck!Tperv001 (talk) 18:47, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Hey Brian,

Thank you so much for your comments. It sounds like you love teaching, and I also agree that teachers should learn to meet the standards of the SOL's, without actually teaching the test. Best of luck to you, and God Bless!!!! Ggee0621 (talk) 04:18, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
